Oh dear god no.

My off the wall prediction is Angle. HHH is way too obvious, right?

I have a feeling Eric Bischoff will be one of the GM's. There has been a lot out there recently that he would want to come back into the wrestling business. I think Mick Foley and Daniel Bryan are strong favorites as well for Smackdown.

Mick looks pretty good. Looks like he lost some weight. Don't know how long term it is, but nice work man!

I like two faces running each show. Hopefully not too much bickering between Foley and Stephanie, but that'll probably happen.

You needed to have a babyface GM for Raw. Otherwise Raw would be the heel show and I think that would eventually lead to some no longer watching. I did think they would go with someone like Angle whom Stephanie initially thinks will just be a yes-man (no pun intended) but will stand up to her. Instead they went with a pure babyface

He did. Think I remember hearing that he was down over 50 pounds.

Great opening segment, even with Stephanie being off her game. She gets rattled anytime Shane gets personal. Feels like there is genuine hatred between the 2 of them.

I have been thoroughly entertained by RAW so far. For what could have been a total throwaway show, it has been really fun, even without really advancing storylines for any of the performers.

Have they called Big Cass' Colin Cassady yet on the main roster?

Looks like they completely dropped that name

safe to say if Sasha's partner was someone like Paige they would have had them come out to the rescue there...I imagine Bayley gets drafted then joins Sasha against Charlotte and Dana.
